There are a couple of functions in the DJGPP library that will return 
various pieces of info about memory.  The most useful functions are 
`__dpmi_get_free_memory_information' and `__dpmi_get_memory_information'; 
look them up in the library on-line docs, like this:

	info libc alphabetic __dpmi_get_memory_information RET
